Is this programme for you?
During this programme, you will be equipped with knowledge of the diversity of solutions that are needed and attainable. Also, insights into your role and the contributions you can make to initiate transitions are addressed.
- Mid- to high-level professionals along the entire supply chain within the global food system
- Professionals who can make change and set agendas towards a more sustainable food system (or are willing to make a change, but not sure what will be the right path in their specific situation)
- The circle around the farmers (suppliers, banks, water boards, government, consultants etc.)
Learning with and from your peers is very important, so participants must be open to being part of a new diverse community, and open for unexpected collaborations (needed to find the right solution).
